luik Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Heey everyone! Is it possible to recover files from a printer HDD? (I mean, not only with Recuva, but with another software or something...) The folder on the printer is accessible via \\IPa.ddr.e.ss\file_share\scan There were a lot of scanned PDF documents but suddenly the folder vanished and the HDD of the printer is empty now. Someone might have deleted or cutted the folder, whatever... Is there a way to recover the files? Thanks! Browsing with Opera browser elegance and mastery.

Moderators hazelnut Posted March 6, 2012 Moderators Share Posted March 6, 2012 I would have thought that if your printer has a real hard drive like a pc and a photo copier does, there should be no reason why it cannot be recovered . Are you able to remove the drive easily?

Moderators Nergal Posted March 6, 2012 Moderators Share Posted March 6, 2012 Depends on the format of the drive, though my guess is it'll be RAW or EXTFS (of one version or another) and thus may not recover, I'm also pretty sure that'l you'll at least have to remove it from the printer as I don't believe recuva will work on network drives/Addresses ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

luik Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 Yes it had a removable HDD that could be connected to a computer, but the reponsibles for the printers decided not to touch it (it was from my work). Well, thank you two! Browsing with Opera browser elegance and mastery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
